First Mini Album

Completed my first mini album this week using a kit, it was really alot of fun. It turned out PERFECT for the pics I was wanting to put in the album..our SNOW DAYS pics. On a completely different note my life seems to be going thru multiple changes lately, seems people I have been friends with for last few years are turning out that I never really knew them at all....Why is it when this happens you start questioning yourself.......

Valentine's Day

Well since my significant other is in New Mexico, I spent the day with my 16 yo son, we went shopping then to eat at our favorite Burger place where I could have a buffalo burger and not kill my weight watchers....OH and BTW I lost 2 lbs this week...KUDOS TO ME!!!

This is a pic of the card I made for my son...so much easier to do this when they were younger......also good for Robyns Sunday Challenge @ MyPinkStamper.com

WEIGH 2 Go GIRL

OK I got up this morning thinking ok this is the day I am going to make that mini book from toilet paper rolls...WELL let's just say that didn't go quite as I had hoped. I ended up setting that project to the side decided time to go eat, while I am sitting there eating and documenting my WW points and using my cool phone app to scan barcodes I came up with idea of cutting the barcodes out and putting them in a journal that I can also track weight and other misc things... so I went back to my scraproom and decided to work on it and decided perfect time to do Robyns #1 challenge (MyPinkStamper.com) I headed over to her site to see what she had written today and she had a 2nd challenge that I thought I could also work into my "WEIGH 2 Go Girl" Journal

SO I got my cover for my journal done (and completed my first ever challenge)I thought it turned out pretty good considering I figured out I dont know as much as I THOUGHT I did about the Cricut.

My next page with be Robyn's 2nd challenge and it will also be my GOAL page for my journal....thanks Robyn not sure I would have thought to do a goal page without your challenge..

Be back at later time with my GOAL page, thanks for looking.

No Motivation

I think I am in a FUNK...I feel great but just can not get motivated to start scrapping in the room I worked soooo hard on. Instead I spend hours watching videos of what others are making...lol. Fun but not very productive.

Also after 3 weeks of Atkins this past Sunday I started on Weight Watchers....long term I can see me sticking to it ALOT easier and not feeling so damn limited...UGH I HATE LIMITS...LOL

It's cold and wet here so I imagine I will spend all weekend inside the house. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Scrapbook Room

After way more procratinating than I should have ever done, I got my scrapbook room but together. Today I set up my new printer (wireless Love it), made a Thank You card for a friend (with help of a tutorial) and made the base of a Mini Book 6x6...ran into creativity block when it came time to embellish it tho....I am just not as creative as I would like to be. After making this two items I decided my scraproom needed some fine tuning, I was looking at one of my large shelving units and figured out I could turn it on its side and use the 66in span of the side as work space for my laminater, sticker maker ect so they didnt have to be stored PLUS got more wall space for another pegboard which I LOVE so easy to have things out where you can see them and easy hands on.

I have been looking thru others blogs today just looking for ideas...think tomorrow I am gonna drag out some pics and look for ones from years ago of my kids on trampoline with watermelon, I would love to do a mini book of these pics, plus excuse to go look for new papers and embellishments. (plus an excuse to try to locate my kids cousin that is in the pic with them...maybe I will make and send her a mini of that fun filled day)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.

OH almost forgot....I started Atkins Diet on Jan 2 in two weeks I lost 10 lbs....then weight loss just stopped...but right now I am happy to have that 10 lbs off. I will get back on the banwagon Monday and work to get more off.

Day 6

Well it is Day 6 of 2010 I have started this year out good. I started back on my Atkins Diet FULL FORCE 0n Jan 2....day 4 I am NEGATIVE for ketones!!!! WOO HOO means weight loss from this day forward.

Let me recant the previous days of 2010.
Jan 1, my friend Ali and I got up and went to Canton (huge trades day in Texas) we spent several hours walking and got some really good deals....It was so cold but we bundled up and had a blast....I finally got the Muffletta sandwich I wanted the whole time I was going to New Orleans.....it was SOOOO GOOD. After Canton we decided to go into Mesquite to shop....that was not as much fun as Canton...I realized QUICKLY diet was the only way for me to go right now....so I vowed to not buy jeans till I lost my weight. After Mesquite we made our way back home stopping at Juanitas I had some awesome Tortilla Soup without carbs so it was a START to my diet.

Jan 2 I decided since jeans were out right now that I would go buy some boots, leggings and a couple of dresses to wear and accomplished what I set out to do and spent less than a pair of jeans WOO HOO!!!!

Jan 3-5 were pretty much normal days for me. I did get a new phone on the 5th that had me ready to pull my hair out but I am getting hang of it now....OH and my friend Janice came over for a little while on the 4th.

OK guess that pretty much catches me up for 2010...oh and Jeremy is in Las Cruces New Mexico again (was there little bit before Christmas then went back Dec 27th
